PAGE 6o WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1979, WHITBY FREE PRESS Day-long phone service cut concerns Councillor Councillor Bob Attersley is very concerned about the safety of. the people ln Whitby, particularly the west section of Town. He expressed his concern when a telephone cable had been cut by some construc- tion machinery and'as a resuit more than 300 homes were without telephone ser- vice from fine a.m. until some time late ln the evening of February 19. M ayor Jimh Gartshore's telephone at bis home was out of operation from 9 a.m. and there was no way for people to notify the need il "an emergency resulted during the time 'the tele- phone service was out of operation." When he contacted the Emergency Department at the Whitby Fire Hall'Coun- cillor Attersley stated that the Department "was not aware of the situation." No one had informed them' that the phone cable had been cut. Councillor Attersley asked that if any future cable cuts occured in 'the Bell Tele- phone system that the police be notîfied and have cruisers patrol the area, and that the Fire Department be alerted. Before bringing the matter to the Committee of Coun- cil's attention Councillor Attersley learned' that the telephone service was stili out at 9:30 pâ.. 1He said he was not "happy with the response received fromn Bell Canada." He suggested that the Town and Bell Canada work out some solution to the problem 0of cut phone cables and the installation of an emergency system, if and when cut phone cables occur in the area. He told the Council that the telephone ser- vice break was due to cons- truction -work in the area. The telephone cable was cut at Gifford Street near the Roman Catholic Church. The Region of Durham Works Department crew were digging for a water- main when they cut the telephone cable. Thè,crews,,were trying to find 'a break in the water- main when the, machinery sl.iced through the telephone cable. The broken water main filled the hole with water, which complicated matters for the Bell Telephone re- pairmen. Asea result of the water filling into the trench the Bell repairmen had to wait until WorldDay of St. John's Anglican Church, Port Whitby, will host the World Day of Prayer for Whitby churches on March 2. There will be two services, one at 2 p.m. and the other at 7:30 p.m'. The A ttersley the watermain was repaired. As soon as the water was baliled out, of the hole and trench, the Bell Technicians went to, work to splice the broken telephone cable and restored service to the 300 homes that night. Prayer March 2 theme of this year's World Day of Prayer is "Spirit 'ual Growth," and the service was written by the womnen of» Africa.
